Getting there


There are two easier way to reach Niah National Park; one from Miri (109 km) and the other is from Bintulu (131 km). Therefore, I suggest go to with Miri because it is near than Bintulu. Below I state the journey you can take to go Niah National Parks.   
From Miri       : Take a bus from Miri Bus Station to Batu Niah. The journeys take times about 1 hour and 40 minutes. From Batu Niah, take taxis (chartered on a daily basis) or self-drive car to the Niah National Park.
From Bintulu   : Take a bus from Miri Bus Station to Batu Niah. The journeys take times about 1 hour and 40 minutes. From Batu Niah, take taxis (chartered on a daily basis) or self-drive car to the Niah National Park.

    1. I agree David this is a nice sharing for all travelers who want to visit who want to travel this region. I also have been visited there about a year ago after my mini circle island tour with my friends. We had a lot of fun there. This is a best place for nature lovers. I am also a nature lover and visited a lot of beautiful and attractive sights of the world.

  4. David it’s nice that your uncle have visited to Yellowstone. I have visited this park with get bus tours about two years ago with my class fellows. We have gone there with a study tour in summer vacations. In that tour we took the images of world highest waterfalls, forest place and other unique places of that park. You can also visit there to enjoy your upcoming summer. Hope you’ll like my suggestion.
